Bill Text
What changed in the latest version
25 added · 34 removedPlain-language change summary
The updated version of Senate Resolution No. 136 removes the names of two previously nominated judges, Jonathan L. Stone and Joseph W. Myers, while adding new nominee Eric M. Shamis from Loudoun for the Twenty-second Judicial District. Additionally, it corrects minor errors in the text and clarifies the terms for several nominees. These changes matter because they directly impact the individuals who will serve as judges in various districts, potentially affecting local justice and legal processes in Virginia.
